No one else will every know the strength of my love for you, after all you are the only one who knows what my heart sounds from inside - L. R. KNOST This is why we believe every kid is a Little Monarch. Traditionally an heir to the throne is known as monarch. And these are our little kings and queens who will always rule our hearts. At Little Monarchs we believe that in an increasingly fast-paced world, an unhurried approach to the early childhood years offers the healthiest and strongest foundation for children’s academic, social, and personal growth. We very deliberately do not accelerate academic learning in our nursery or kindergarten programs. With ample play in these early years, students learn better—and show greater enthusiasm and confidence. Neuroscience tells us that young children need 3 key things for healthy cognitive development: self-directed creative free play, time outdoors, and caring relationships. Our program emphasizes children’s freedom to engage in self-directed, imaginative play—both indoors and out—within the structure of a comforting routine. Children also need unstructured outside play for each day for their physical and mental wellbeing and growth and we make sure we provide them the same. We believe that each center has its own personality. It is not necessarily only about the curriculum; it is all about the staff members and how committed, caring, and dedicated they are to the program. We believe that the strength of the program is in the dedication of the teaching staff. Our trained teachers create a kind, caring atmosphere to foster imagination and creativity. We strive to create mutual respect and encourage communication between parents, teachers and administrators.
